script will not complete

Open jerboyd opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

Hello, thank you for making this script. I am attempting to install Waves on Fedora 35. I have been successful in the past by installing the plugins in virtual box and copying the waves folders to my wine directory. then i would run waves central 9 in wine to install the licenses. this no longer works so i am forced to try and get powershell working. I downloaded and installed your script and am getting this error.

backtrace.txt

Fedora 35 uses wine staging by default and the current version is 7.0.1 i believe but i downgraded to 6.14 and tried that as well with no luck. any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Hi, From your crashlog:

Unhandled exception: unimplemented function urlmon.dll.414

This looks like if you have other native dlls installed/set. Could you check in winecfg, if you have set urlmon, and.or wininet set to "native" ?

It might be best to try on a fresh new created wineprefix, so without anything installed via winetricks

Regards

i did have wininet installed via winetricks. with a clean wine install powershell installs but after repeated waves 13 install attempts i still get powershell not installed errors. i tried this process with wine 6.16 and 7.0-0.1. in wine 7 powershell installs and opens up to the shell, in 6.16 it seems to complete but does not open a window. in both waves fails to install. here is the output from my waves install with powershell installed in wine 7 waves-install-output.txt

Hi,

i still get powershell not installed errors.

Did you try cd into the directory where Waves is installed, and run Waves from there? (See the readme)

If that doesnt help then d have to test myself, but i don`t have access to my linux pc atm

after running the waves install executable several times i did what you recommended and navigated into the folder and ran 'wine Waves\ Central.exe' and it worked. i have not installed any dll's or set any over rides. this is a fresh wine 7.0 installation. install and activation completed with no issues, graphical or otherwise. I will report back after installing LinVst and testing in my DAW (Mixbus32c)

Waves Central 13 installed and activated with no issues. LinVst and Yabridge both load the plugins with no special work needing to be done. I did not follow the LinVst instructions and it worked no problems. Thank you so much for your efforts, where can i go to buy you a beer?

slight correction. Waves Central will not load powershell when i load it from a file browser or from the gnome menu. it only works when loaded from the terminal. not sure why this would be.

Hi, maybe that is the same issue as that it doesnt start after the install, and you have to cd into the directory where Waves program is. But thats just a guess. I couldn`t figure out why you have to cd into the Waves directory
